Well said sir.....
Oh and to the OP calm down... Nexus 5 is pretty much a G2 sibling like the 4 and OG are.... Nothing really groundbreaking
Sent from my LG-LS970

bought 1 for myself and a couple to flip. It if doesnt ship in time to resell I can always cancel the order

Just found out I can buy unlocked from the play store and activate on sprint. Might not be on my OG much longer.

7 band LTE is what im buying it for. I have both Sprint and Tmobile service. So the Nexus 5 is perfect for me. And thats something that no other phone in the market has. I wont have to carry two phones anymore.

Supports these following LTE Bands: 1, 2, 4, 5, 17, 19, 25, 26 and 41
Sprint uses 25,26, and 41.
At the moment, among Sprint's phones, only the G2 has support for 25,26, and 41 (Tri-Band LTE). The next phone in Sprints lineup will be the Htc One Max.

Interesting... I didn't think you could buy from Google play and unlock on Sprint... Is that because this is the first Nexus that is multi-band LTE capable ?

Its the only Nexus phone ever made with both CDMA & GSM support and 7 Band LTE. Sprint is actually going to carry it as well on Nov 8. But out of contract price is $449 for the 16GB.

Although I'll be buying mine from the play store, $449 unlocked is still almost half the price of the competition. Good job on their part.

Edit: I'm thinking of doing this and just selling my OG to help pay for my etf fee. Sprint doesn't and likely won't have LTE in my market for sometime.... Denver area is pretty spotty. Its kinda crappy paying a lot for really bad 3g for 4ish years with promises of better network only to get worse network.

Got a white one!
Just took advantage of this deal. I already have a gray one bought from Negri but I'll be returning through Amex premium return to pay for this one. I'll be saving a total of $120. I really wanted a white one and saw they were offering it so I went for it. If anyone is hesitant to buy from from dailysteals.com don't be. They are a really good company to buy from. I bought a galaxy note about two weeks ago and it came brand new. They forgot to include the 8GB SD card and when I emailed them about it they just sent me one no questions ask. If your looking for a nexus this is the deal for you.
What about warranties?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Not really worried about warranty. If you already have a galaxy nexus or contemplating on getting a international one you already know you won't get warranty anyway. There really isn't a point to worry because no one will have it anyway. Better to just get one at this price then buying it somewhere else for $100+.
I bought one last month on eBay for $580. Well

Sprint's Galaxy Nexus will be LTE. Since Sprint's 3G network is CDMA, there's no way for them to have HSPA+ (which is GSM only). But Sprint will barely have any LTE coverage when they launch the Galaxy Nexus since they're new to the LTE game.

no, completely different technology...lte is gsm based, with extra cdma radio added....3g vzw phones are cdma, global 3g is dual gsm and cdma radios
Alot of the 4g phones don't have global capabilities out of the box.... The razr for instance had a software update that enabled it... I'm sure though that by rooting you could enable it without an official update... This may not apply to all LTE phones because VZW seems to be loading this ability out of the box in the newer devices

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!
You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.
I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

The things is, you can't be too sure about CDMA versions on eBay and the likes. They could be blacklisted on the networks.
Yeah...sucks but true. Verizon is CDMA. No getting around that. Either stay with Verizon and unlimited data and pay full price, pay subsidized price and get reduced internet, or jump ship.
I personally am going to get the HSPA+ one and use it with T-Mobile. 5 gigs of 4g and unlimited 3g for $30 a month

You have 45 days to open a buyer protection case, so no worries there. Just buy from a reputable seller and you're good. If you put it on a credit card, you can always do a charge back. I've bought around 50 cell phones on eBay, and only one was blacklisted. I contacted the seller and he gave me a full refund.

T-Mobile offering truly unlimited Data on Sept. 5

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/08/t-mo...unlimited-data-plan-thats-actually-unlimited/
At a time when Verizon and AT&T are charging more for Data, T-Mobile comes to the rescue with unlimited Data for $30 for Classic Plans and $20 for Value Plans.
<3 I am excited! I was actually considering switching to Sprint for truly unlimited data, but now that my beloved T-Mobile is getting it, I am never leaving!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The unlimited data plan does not allow tethering. This is a quite reasonable limitation in my opinion but even so I am sure it will be bypassed on rooted phones by Sept. 7th.
Its almost TOO good to be true. But Tmo does take out the included HotSpot Tether (easy work around for us here tho ). This + the iPhone5/LTE (hopefully for Tmo's sake) + HEAVY marketing (including improved network toting & great prices) will bring new customers in droves. Tmo needs this combo punch for the holiday season.
Also, does anyone know how to only test the 1900 HSPA+ band on the GNex instead of AWS/1700 HSPA+? Tmo has been working on HSPA+ over their 1900 band for some months now, and I want to see if any towers in and around Seattle are enabled yet.
Have not been this excited about something from tmo in a long time. Still waiting for a catch, but damn this will be epic. I get unlimited through my dealer line anyway, but will be awesome for my wife.
